My wife's cousin Mollie Cass died a few years ago, and the world is a
little less fun now that she's no longer with us. I first met her
more than 50 years ago, and grew, like everyone else in the family,
to love and admire her merry & brave approach to life.
Never did she, in our hearing, mention having any siblings, and so we
were ASTONISHED to find a brother, Ralph D. Cass, mentioned in a
recently uploaded WorldConnect file. A little bit of research threw
up his birth registration (3rd Qtr 1900 at Reading, Berks, England,
(Volume 2c, Page 365), as Ralph Dimmock Cass - Dimmock being his &
Mollie's mother's maiden name.
So he did indeed exist! Next we looked for either his marriage or
death using various sources - nothing. Did he emigrate? Perhaps, so
we tried the newly available Outgoing Passenger Lists 1890-1960, and Bingo!
Last name/First name/Born/Departure/From/To/Port
CASS/Ralph Demmock/1901/1919/Liverpool/Peru/Callao (Lima)
CASS/Ralph Dimmock/1900/1923/Bristol/Panama/Cristobal
And there, for the moment, the trail runs cold - except for a
possible US Social Security Death Record in 1979, in Montgomery, Ohio
. . . . Can anyone help ??
